I really like the mounts that Steve made. However I would strongly suggest that you reinforce the bulkheads with some carbon cloth to better attach them to the bottom and sides. Especially because they are actually just single pieces of wood. Maybe even sandwich them with carbon plate. Also...
BAR is the blade area of the prop. The higher the bar, the bigger the blade area. ABC has props that vary from .38bar to .75bar and 10* rake to 23* rake.

Get them by Monday from McMaster-Carr with standard shipping.
